About

The above video features award-winning author Samantha Dunn speaking about her experiences with the Shadow Cards, which have been in and out of print since 1992. Just as the most recent inventory was being depleted, it looked like the cards would be relegated to a cherished memory. However, I continued receiving very encouraging feedback, including from someone who recovered repressed memories by interpreting random metaphors that my deceased partner helped create.

Below are unsolicited quotes from individuals who have purchased the cards over the years, as well as videos showing the cards being used in diverse environments. With the uptick in interest, I am launching this campaign to seek support for (1) another printing of the cards; AND (2) expanding the deck to include 12 new image cards and 12 new word cards, which will provide over 2,200 more combinations; AND (3) everything you need to play a fun group game with the cards. Through this campaign, you can get the expanded deck at a discount! Plus, for the next printing, I decided to let people who've had profound experiences with the Shadow Cards acquire a chance to collaborate on deciding one of the new words or images for increasing the metaphors of the next deck! Go to shadowcards.com to sample the synchronicity.

The workbook helps you turn your shadows inside out.

A great gift for the introspective!
